In desperation, Churchill turned to an overlooked, underfunded force known as \"The Cinderella Service\". Armed with long-range planes, depth charges, rocket projectiles and radar equipment, the Cinderella boys provided vital air defence. The German hunters became the hunted, and - in a stunning defeat - fully retreated by the summer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe transformation of Coastal Command from a ramshackle outfit into a formidable organisation served as one of the turning points of the war. But they never received the credit they deserved. Based on a wealth of new sources, Leo McKinstry shines a light on the courageous pilots, ingenious scientists and political risktakers who defended the freezing Atlantic from Nazi rule.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Engrossing' Brendan Simms\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41091760914529,"sku":"9781529319378","price":10.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27000433.jpg?v=1721419522","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781529319378-cinderella-boys","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
